Innovations can be exciting, but some could be a bit much. We were trying to envision where they would put the Roman baths next.

Mayor John Moore explained that the construction are bases for new street lights shown below. The lights are being installed from 1st Street east all the way to the Mustang station.

DoD and DOL Partner to Better Serve Wounded, Ill, and Injured Service Members

Banner5-300x300The Warrior Care Blog for the DoD Office of Warrior Care Policy is reporting on a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Defense and the Department of Labor. The brief article states:

The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Labor (DOL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to foster and formalize collaboration between the two departments. Signed by Dr. Jonathan Woodson, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and Keith Kelly, Assistant Secretary for Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Services, the MOU ensures that wounded, ill, and injured Service members and those enrolled in the Disability Evaluation System receive referrals to DOL American Job Centers and Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program Specialists. This agreement marks a collaboration milestone and reaffirms both departments’ commitment to providing education and employment assistance to wounded, ill, and injured Service members.

The blog refers veterans to the Health.mil web site for more information on the Education and Employment Initiative.
